Autumn,

I like your " You just made my day " response.  The looks are one reason I have

never asked the dr for a handicapped parking.  I don't normally go anywhere

unless I know I can park close or sit in the car.  I'm scared of going out and

not being able to make it back.  Paris

[ ] Re: Younger people with ra/arthritis or disease

I hear that all too often.  I'm 23, was diagnosed at age 16..  I

actually did work for walmart for 7 years, and it was horrible (did

damage to my shoulders and hands lifting freight when I shouldn't

have).  I also HATE shopping at walmart and parking in the handicapped

spots there, some days I look handicapped (limping, stiff, etc) some

days I don't, however my Dr wants me to not walk too far even if I'm

feeling decent because of hurting my joints.  I've had WAY too many

people at walmart follow me through the parking lot asking about what

is wrong with me and calling me things like " handicapped whore " and

things like that.  Quite annoying.  Usually when people look at me and

say " you don't look handicapped " I reply back " thank you!! you just

made my day:) " with a big smile.  That usually shuts them up.
